In level pasture, on the SW outskirts of Kenmare town and centrally placed within a multiple-stone circle (KE093-032001-). A rounded boulder with a flattish top (2.1m x 1.8m; T 0.8m) rests above three support-stones, which form a small chamber-like arrangement open at E. Support-stones are of rather similar dimensions, averaging 0.9m x 0.6m and 0.2m H. The boulder rests directly on the stones at N and S, and on a small pad-stone above the support-stone at W. There is a small cupmark on the upper surface of the boulder. (Ó Nualláin 1978, 96, no. 36)
